Fixing a stupid meme, a lot of people found it’s fine to be ableist with. I’m not, neither is 22 of us, or admin.
minus-square反いじめ戦隊@ani.socialOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoThe people insulted by those derogatories never reclaimed those insults, thus we shouldn’t use them. e.g., «Queer» was a slur, but it’s been reclaimed. I’m fine being called queer today, endearingly, but I would never use it as a slur. 5 people got offended enough to say to me NOT to use «dumb». I don’t think physically disabled people should be called “lame” either.

minus-squaretrashcan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·5 months agoThat’s fine, you do you. I don’t want anyone to feel marginalized either. I’m just genuinely surprised anyone had issue with “dumb”. That’s a first for me. I assumed that battle was long lost.
